The kiss plunged their souls into passion, temptation, and indescribable feelings. Albert and Ryn were so lost in the kiss that they didn't realize they were the center of attention for the people passing by. They clutched each other as if they didn't want to end the kiss and lose that intoxicatingly intimate moment. Until Albert finally remembered his aim. At that moment, Albert suddenly ended the kiss and moved away from Ryn."Sorry. This is a public area. We shouldn't be doing this here. I have to call someone." He excused himself as he walked backward and turned away.Ryn was honestly disappointed that the kiss had to end. But when she noticed where they were now, she understood. The girl looked around, then went to a bench and sat there."This is the sweetest kiss I've ever had," Ryn murmured. The girl bit her lip and wiped it with a finger, looking at Albert, who stood behind her while talking to someone on the phone."Am I in love with him?" Ryn shook her head faintly. She felt
Whoever she was, in Ryn's eyes, she was just a bitch who deserved to be beaten. What she did was out of line. What if she didn't manage to dodge in time? The boomerang would definitely crush her head. Ryn didn't respond to Darla's handshake. Instead, she made a fist and was ready to make a lesson out of the woman who had messed with her. A touch on the shoulder forced Ryn out of the scenario in her mind. The girl turned her head and saw Jayden stepping slightly in front of her as if trying to protect her. "What are you doing, Darla? She's our future Luna, and you almost killed her." Jayden's question implied a warning. "I just wanted to prove what people were saying about our future Luna," Darla replied casually. She didn't look guilty at all, despite nearly costing Ryn her life. "Don't make a mess of things. You know what Albert could do to you if your weapon hurt her," Jayden said. Darla shrugged with the corners of her lips pulled down. "That scares me," she said. The blonde w
Ryn took the bait that Darla threw out. She felt challenged to engage the woman, even though she knew Darla had a hidden agenda behind the invitation. But who cared? Ryn felt even more motivated to go one-on-one with the bitchy blonde. Ryn remembered the location Darla had mentioned well. On the day they had agreed to meet, Ryn prepared to head to the location. Sneaking out of the Golden Moon Pack's palace was not a difficult thing for Ryn to do. Let's say she was already an expert in this. So she did not need to make any more effort to leave the place. "Ryn," someone called out, causing the girl's steps to stop. Ryn turned slowly and saw an Omega carrying a shovel standing a few feet away with a questioning look. "Hi, Bryan." Ryn smiled stupidly as she scratched her non-itchy head. "You want to dig some dirt?" The stupid question just slipped out of Ryn's mouth. Bryan looked at the shovel in his hand, thinking Ryn's question was strange. But the man didn't question her. He shrugg
Nothing Ryn said was off the mark. Every single word that came out of her mouth was like a speeding bullet through Darla's chest."Why are you freezing? Am I right?" Ryn said in a sarcastic tone.Darla's teeth clashed over the insult. But she was trained to control herself well. Despite being intimidated, Darla could still manage her emotions. She was ignited for a moment but eventually regained control of the emotions that were trying to burn her soul.Darla smiled slightly, then said, "Silence does not always mean justification. I think you're misinterpreting my silence, Future Luna. I'm silent because I don't want to waste my energy on unnecessary arguments."Damn it! Ryn clucked for a moment with thinning lips. She had failed to uncover Darla's intentions. It was not easy to get the blonde-haired woman to admit the truth."The sun is going down even faster. Shall we begin?" Darla grinned as she put her stance on alert. "I hear you're tough enough to keep up with Alpha Albert. Show
Ryn turned her head toward Jayden with a troubled look."Does he look mad at me?" she asked anxiously."I don't know if he's mad, but I see him worrying about you a lot," Jayden replied.Ryn bit her lip and scrolled her eyeballs wildly. She was agitated. Jayden's answer did nothing to relieve her. She didn't know when she had gotten so anxious about someone. Was it because that person was Albert?"You'd better go see him soon before he gets mad and we all suffer the consequences," Jayden suggested."I'll catch up with him, but...." Ryn paused her words for a moment. She looked at Jayden expectantly. "Please, don't say anything about what you saw earlier," the girl pleaded.Jayden took a deep breath until his chest puffed out. His flat expression left Ryn unable to guess what he was thinking.Would Jayden be on her side this time?"I can't make any promises. He's my Alpha. I'm not even sure I can tell a lie to him," Jayden said.In other words, Jayden didn't want to agree to Ryn's requ
Albert's words were deeply imprinted in her mind. The warning wasn't directed at her. But Ryn could feel the man's emotions piercing right through her heart. In a single moment, Ryn was like seeing an angel and a demon in one soul."It's done, Miss." Maina's voice pulled Ryn out of her reverie. The girl cleared her throat and blinked a few times."You are so gorgeous. I was worried the bride would be less beautiful than you," Maina complimented as she looked at Ryn's reflection in the mirror.Ryn scrolled her gaze in the same direction. There, she seemed to see a stranger. Ryn's eyes would not lie. She saw a lovely face with light makeup that looked so pretty. The wound on the corner of her lip and the bruise on her left cheek were no longer visible. Her long black hair was gracefully styled to match the shape of her face. With long earrings hanging down from her ears, the girl looked stunning.'She is indeed so beautiful,' she silently praised.All this time, all Ryn saw in the mirro
The flower arrangements along the road leading to the venue were so pleasing to the eye. The combination of soft blue and white colors with dim lights at some points made the people who walked through it feel like they were in the middle of a heavenly garden. Guests in expensive suits and elegant dresses seemed to cluster like ants, forming a colony according to their caste. Not only the Alphas from all over Wolfspring were invited to the party. Alpha Xander was a government official in Wolfspring City. He also invited famous figures to the city, even if they were not of their kind."Stay by my side, and look no further than me," Albert whispered."This is ridiculous," Ryn muttered.There were many guests at this party. Indeed, none of them were people she knew. But Albert's demand made her feel like a dog in a pet carrier. Stayed to the side and was not allowed to look the other way. How annoying!"I'm just trying to protect you," Albert said."But that's too much," Ryn retorted.Alb
Ryn quickly adapted to Denaya. Denaya's motherly nature made her comfortable, so the conversation was enjoyable. Occasionally, Ryn glanced at Albert, who never seemed to let her out of his sight. But who cares? Just let him glare at her all the time. Ryn was still annoyed with Albert's overprotective demeanor."He loves you so much," joked Denaya, which made Ryn instantly turn her attention to her. "Look! He can't stop looking at you," she continued."Let him go. He's a pain in the ass tonight," Ryn said with pursed lips.Denaya smiled as she squeezed Ryn's hand."People think he's a cold-blooded, cruel man. Ralph and I used to think so. But once we got to know him better, he wasn't what we thought he was." The woman looked at Albert, who was chatting with her husband. "He's our savior," she continued with a genuine smile."Yeah, he's a good guy," Ryn said.It was not only Ryn who felt this way. What people said about Albert's cruelty, she didn't find in him. And she hoped they weren'
